Theosis Interview!

1. Greetings Astraeos!
In what I have realised is that you have been
very active and involved in some bands under the say 5-6 years and only
now recently started to run solo.
...did you get tired in compromise with others in the name of creation?

-To
be honest, I use to run my own, solo projects. Morbid Fog, Ravndal,
L’Hiver, Theosis… Even my other bands, Vetusmora and Mortuus Sum are
only studio projects.

2.And can you briefly describe the
other bands you were involved in? Either way i guess you got out some
experiences from all installations that shaped you to become Theosis?

3.
Already you have released two one-song demos and one full album, when
did the work for this begin? What can you say about the demos? Did you
search for you right sound or?

-The first demo’s song is
something different from what now Theosis are.
More progressive with
occult melodies. The second demo and the full album are pure, fucking
black metal assault.

4. Can you visualise in what you
have prepared for the listener to be devoured by on this debut album?
And have you been in contact with any label to release it on?

-Satanic
Warmaster, Sargeist and of course the ALMIGHTY Darkthrone are some of
my influences for this album, but I prefer the listener to consider it.

5.
In what light is the bandname theosis used for here? As i understand it
it can be roughly translated as "the process of coming into union with
God".

-That’s right!!! But the reason I used the name
“Theosis” is one of my favorite bands and one of their albums, “Theosis”
by Acherontas!!!

6. By the way nice choice of cover (the
chant of the barbarian wolves by Satanic Warmaster)!
Was there any
other specific reasons for you other then it’s a great song to cover
this & has SW been a big influence? And i also saw that you wear an
t-shirt of one of Greece BM-prides Acherontas.
Is there any other band that have shaped you in any way?

-Satanic
Warmaster is my favorite black metal band and I wanted to do something
as homage for them. Acherontas as I said, is one of my best bands,
mainly for their philosophical and poetic occult style.
Judas Iscariot,
Rotting Christ, Darkthrone and Summoning are some of them too.

7.
Do you consider Theosis to also be a live-band in the future? Is there
some "underground BM-scene" there in the town Karditsa?

-No immediate plans for that but who knows.

Only two other projects. Nothing else.

8. How does the rest of the years plans look like?

-Music, music, music…

9.Well thats all for this time! Thanks for your answers and your time spent.
